Episode notes
From Skate Punk to Pastor
- Tim Mackie's parents, Christians from the Jesus Movement, gave him a skateboard and Thrasher magazine.
- This shaped his identity and unexpectedly led him to Skate Church, where he converted to Christianity.
Skate Church and Conversion
- Skate Church, a ministry with a skatepark, required attendees to listen to sermons.
- Mackie initially mocked them but later became a Christian, along with friends who also pursued biblical studies.
The Birth of BibleProject
- Mackie's shift from academia to ministry stemmed from a desire to apply biblical knowledge to the church.
- This, combined with John Collins's videography skills, birthed the Bible Project.
